Thank you, Chair. I'll be sharing my time, please, with Madame Sansoucy.
I would like to first ask Ms. Lowi-Young of the Alzheimer Society for clarification. I just want to make sure I've grasped the perspective.
I believe your position as an organization is that there should not be advance directives for Alzheimer's patients because the risks are too large. I'm wondering if you were here this morning when we had testimony from the Dying With Dignity people. They mentioned Gillian Bennett, whose blog, deadatnoon.com, talked about her difficult choice in this area when she had advanced dementia. They also made reference to a nurse, Ms. Bentley, who made it clear that she did not want to be in this situation. She had stage seven dementia and was still being spoon-fed, contrary to her wishes and the wishes of her family.
Those are examples, I think, on the other side of this issue. I just want to make crystal clear whether or not your view is that it ought not to be allowed to Ms. Bennett or Ms. Bentley.
